“I listened attentively but they spoke nothing right. No one repents of his wickedness, saying, What have I done! Each runs off in his own direction, like a horse plunging headlong into battle.”
Jeremiah 8:6 CJB
God is always listening for people to repent, sadly not many do! We watch people all around us, even world leaders. They take no responsibility for what they do wrong! They all run in their own direction, doing their own thing, heading for the cliff of destruction!
“Storks in the sky know their seasons; doves, swallows and cranes their migration times; but My people do not know the rulings of Adonai!”
Jeremiah 8:7 CJB
Understand, God has given the birds of the air, fish in the sea and animals on land a sense of what directions to follow! He also has put in man’s heart to know right from wrong. Unfortunately, man often refuses to do what is right! Why? Man is full of pride!
“Pride goes before destruction, and arrogance before failure.”
Proverbs 16:18 CJB
This is something we all can struggle, with pride and arrogance! Pride, thinking we are above everyone, and arrogance, thinking we know it all or more than others! What do we do? REPENT and call on God to turn us to His right paths!
“Adonai, turn us back to You; and we will come back; renew our days, as they were in the past-unless You have totally rejected us in fury that knows no limits.”
Lamentations 5:21-20 CJB
Understand, there is a limit to God’s patience, so the best thing we can do is repent when we blow it! It does two things: first we are forgiven and second we have dialog with God!
Have a blessed day knowing God forgives when we repent!
Shabbat Shalom!
